About
I am a North American archaeologist and physical anthropologist with active research projects on Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and Susquehannock identity (as revealed through mortuary rituals) and the 400+ year life history of a single town in southern maryland (Port Tobacco). I strive to incorporate descendant communities in my work and provide opportunities for their stories to be recorded along with the anthropologists'.
Bones are my artifact of choice and through taphonomic analyses I seek to use all the data that bones can provide to interpret the formation processes of sites and assemblages and to understand the lives of those individuals that bones represent. My theoretical approach has recently shifted towards memory and identity with respect to mortuary rituals and the use of landscape.
